How to specify the file to be opened (URL API or the way keeping query parameters upto Theia Plugin).

[gorshkov-leonid]

Summary

Hello, my question is related to eclipse-theia/theia#8292.
But because workspace-loader was replaced with che-dashboard this question became actual again.
I need to share a link to a specific file(with line and column) in a workspace. The problem was solved with a custom plugin that reads query parameters and uses Theia API to open files. The base of the solution was the ability to pass query parameters to the plugin. It was possible with URIs like /workspace-loader/lego/temp-prj?f=/projects/22.txt&l=61&c=421&uid=42

But now there is no workspace-loader and I use link from workspace dto, for example, https://server8wkx32v7-jwtproxy-server-4402.k8s.managed.cloud/#/projects?f=/projects/22.txt&l=61&c=421&uid=42. It works as well as earlier, except expanding left panel (see #20494).

Does any better approach exist to open files via URL API? Or maybe somebody knows how to get query parameters in a custom plugin without using links to jwtproxy, ideally with the usage of link in the context of workspace?

This way is good enough.
Also, we can guide how to pass params from dashboard in case like

${che_host}/dashboard/#/ide/opentlc-mgr-che/spring-petclinic-pv2s${params-here-in-some-format}

or just drop feature request but not any promise when it can be done.

I wonder if you share the same account with the user you share link?

@sleshchenko thank you

It would be great!

Actually, the link is not shared in general meaning. To be exact, an external system retrieves and shows this link navigating to cloud IDE. This system uses the same token from keycloak as Che.
